Robert Romanus’ Five Point Plan, Damone and 44 Years of Fast Times

Robert Romanus, aka Mike Damone from Fast Times at Ridgemont High, tells the stories behind one of the most quotable characters of the ’80s! He reveals the six-week-plus audition that finally landed him the role, why he decided Damone was an East Coast transplant, and how Cameron Crowe’s real-life high school experiment inspired the legendary “Five Point Plan.” He remembers working with Amy Heckerling, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Brian Backer and Forest Whitaker, and explains why Sean Penn stayed Spicoli for the entire shoot – right up until the day he wrapped! Robert also breaks down Damone and Rat’s friendship, the truth behind the Led Zeppelin IV scene, the locker-room line he improvised, and the pepper-eating choice he regretted after 30 takes. Plus, he reveals what was originally filmed in the infamous pool-house scene, why it nearly contributed to an X rating, and why he’s barely watched the film since it opened on August 13, 1982! He also talks Foxes with Jodie Foster, Fame, The Facts of Life, Days of Our Lives, his music with Poppa’s Kitchen, and why he had to buy a Cheap Trick album after getting the Fast Times script.
